Interesting Point on Bartel

[Michael]

Don’t let that shy country boy exterior fool you. He’s a really switched on bloke.

There’s a glamour puss chick in our office who had been trying to ride his coat tails for a while. She asked him out one night and he accepted. She was running around the office telling everyone how wonderful he was. Problem though: she’s a 100% bona fide cow who is completely self absorbed and money hungry. But he was smart enough to see straight through her and after they had dinner he told her he wasn’t interested.

Needless to say, aforementioned “cow” now considers him to be a bit dull for her...... :

Good work Barto.

Did you get a "knock back" redford?

or pick her up on the rebound ;D

The interesting thing about Geelongs recruiting is that even though they have truck loads of good inside players - Bartel, Corey, Kelly, and Ling, none of which are really considered highly skilled and quick, they still added another inside non-pacy, non-flashy type in Selwood.

they have their setup spot on, you dont need individually quick players to be a quick team

they move the ball quick and love to get the footy into the hands of mackie/wojo at every stoppage

lol at this thread, bartel has always been a quality player but its only now that the side is doing so well he is getting the rewards he deserves

And wasn't it mentioned last night his current cupcake is a Swedish exchange student or something who wouldn't know in the back from around the back?

Danish.

It's a cliché I know, but then this is football. Geelong is a champion team, not a team of champions. They run in packs, GIVE BLOODY SHEPHERDS :brickwall to protect the ball carrier - which gives them time to make better decisions - and provide options for one another and it's contagious.

I'm no coach and I don't know how you change a culture at a club, but we could learn a lot from this team. I've seen Raines try to show a bit of leadership in this area this year and ended up looking a spanner because he was alone.

Congrats Geelong and Bartel :clap, lets hope we learn something from them.

Exactly, their seniors do it and so do their bloody magoos.
Good skills and hunt in packs same as Brispain did when they played in four on the trot.

On the contrary. Like a good ruck rover, I swooped in and cleaned up the crumbs.

Thought Bartel was a well deserved winner. Champion Data ranked him the No.1 player of the 2007 season, averaged 27.25 touches per game. He had more than 30 disposals in 9 games, a high of 38 against the Bulldogs.

And a very modest winner too!

Yep, this is the second year running the Champion Data lads did the job:

It's great fun working with the lads. As a techie, I give the footy guys a bit of stick, but they really do know their stuff.

Just goes to show you have to win the pill first. Obviously the cats value ball winners higher than ball carriers. Look at all the ball carriers we have recruited over the past couple of drafts. Wallace just loves the skinny pacy ball carriers. Going on the cats formula, is it any surprise we are where we are.

You scored with Bartel? Well done!

What not some line on how we could of drafted him or got him in the trade for Otto.
